We join Si at Corbières Wine Bar on Manchester Day! The boys used to visit the bar daily thanks to a juke box that played all their favourite tunes!
In 3-piece garage-rock outfit, The Weeds, with friend and ‘hairdresser to the stars’, Andrew Berry, Si and the band performed there with The Happy Mondays.
One legendary evening, Manchester music supremo, Anthony H Wilson, dropped in. He signed up The Mondays that very night. He also wanted to sign The Weeds, but Andrew said: “No thanks. We’ll only sign to EMI!”
Season One of The X Generation brings you key moments in Simon Wolstencroft’s musical career that have influenced some of the greatest Manchester bands of all time.
